While on routine duty officers must patrol – or “lie in wait” as the case may be – in their own jurisdictions.
That said, before you make that argument in Court be 100% sure that the geographic boundaries are what you believe them to be. Many jurisdictions in Miami-Dade have bizarre lines and jutting expanses into what one would not logically believe to be a part of its territory.
Further, you should probably not make the argument yourself anyhow. Even if you were a lawyer (which you probably aren’t) you’d be a fool to represent yourself.
The best defense for any traffic citation anywhere is to hire a local traffic ticket lawyer. In Miami, Fl, where I have been a practicing criminal defense lawyer for 23+ years, for $49-$99 you will get a lawyer who knows the law, the procedure, the Judge and probably the cop. In short you will almost certainly get both competent representation and a better result for a relatively small fee / investment.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
